All are invited to the annual lecture hosted by the Preservation Department of the Yale University Library. The speaker is Aniko Bezur, Director of Scientific Research at Yale's Center for Conservation and Preservation. The event is sponsored by Jack '47 and Betsy O'Neill.
The first phase of realizing Yale’s Center for Conservation and Preservation was completed in Spring 2013 with the construction of its scientific research laboratories. This talk will introduce the scientific staff and facilities of the CCAP, showcase ongoing projects, and explore plans for harnessing the Center’s unique setting and academic context.

Prior to her current position, she was the Andrew W.
